Before moving, Ross and I had a bucketlist of activities, places to see, and restaurants to try before leaving Chicago. One item on the list was ice skating at The Bean or at Maggie Daley Park. However, the lines were always super long. Well, we finally got to cross off our bucketlist item.... IN LONDON! Our good friends gave us these ice skating tickets as a going away gift, and we definitely enjoyed the thoughtful present.

The rink is set in the courtyard of a Tudor palace built in 1547 for the Duke of Somerset. In 1175, the palace was demolished, and what was built is the building we saw tonight. Does anyone know what this fairytale house is called? Ross and I definitely need to come back to learn more about this place, which now holds numerous art exhibits year round!
